Butcher BBQ Podcast

I went into this with some scripted questions. The passion and love these two have for their product changed all that. They don't come from a competition back ground, rather from necessity. They built their own play book on launching the brand and still doing it the Orton way today. I know you will love hearing this story because I loved asking about it.

Back doing an interview. We talk with Glenn Drake, a brand ambassador for Butcher BBQ. I wanted to show everyone that our ambassadors are not all comp cooking teams. Glenn is a family man with a career while having a passion for grilling. His favorite thing to cook is dinosaur beef ribs. When he got to talking about them I was made of questions. I left nothing unturned so you will know how to cook them. Also he takes a jab at a friend of his that recently bought a flat top cooker.

My guest that was to be on, had an emergency so you get me chatting about the American Royal, ways I am hearing to use our chicken brine, stupid news, and recap of the contest we did following our prep on the last podcast.

This was fun documenting my week leading up to a comp. I get asked this so I thought I would just talk as if I was writing in my diary. We cover trimming meat, making injections, my comp trailer, and even where I messed up the end of the week.

I sit down with one of the hottest bbq cook teams on the circuit today, Curt Wallace with team Smoked and Furious. He has won 5 Grand Championships this year. He started cooking 2 seasons ago. Everyone can learn from how he approached the game of comp BBQ to help themself.

Nick Long is a friend of Butcher BBQ and one of our Brand Ambassadors. He has been cooking for a long time and approached cooking in a different way. He now host a YouTube channel so we dip our toe in what he does with that. Its not a long podcast weather was not making this easy for taping. So sit back and enjoy.

I open the show talking about a store I will be at his weekend. Then I dove into 3 great questions I get asked. I start off with our Brand Ambassador program, what it cost me and how would you get on it. 2nd question is what are the flavors and differences of the Bird Booster Injections. The final thing I talk about is when is the proper time to slice my steak or brisket.

It has been way to long since we did a podcast, now its time we get started again. This show we will talk about phosphates and what they do for BBQ cooking.

I go over my off season cooking for testing and a special summary of a test cook I did on a comp brisket. I will tell you my thoughts on the outcome and how I did the test so you can be a judge for yourself.

I talk with pitmaster Dan Jacobellis from Top Gun BBQ. Dan gets into why he chooses to do what he does for cooking. He is a 2nd generation Chef and instructor at a culinary institute. So Dan dives into BBQ while making sure texture, tenderness, and flavor are elements to remember his food.

I am honored to have Christopher on our show. He is a world renowned instrumentalist. That has played on many many records in his life time. His passion for BBQ is mirrors his passion for his music. We dive into the one cook that he just hasn't mastered. That is brisket cooked on a Weber kettle.

The first Cooks Corner was so well received and other cooks have asked for my thoughts on the way they cook. So here is the second one. I was honored to talk with Sam Dodson and answer some of his question on cooking.

We now sit down with Mark Bower and go over his contest cook. He sent me some pictures of his boxes and we go over his cooking process. This whole Cooks Corner has been a huge hit and if you want to be a part of these episodes. Just email me at ButcherBBQ@gmail.com and lets get to podcasting.

I had a listener, Mark Bower contact me and told me his favorite podcast to date we had done was one where I interviewed a first time KCBS cook. What that show was about is me giving my thoughts on his cook. Mark said he thought this was great for the back yard cook wanting to join in on comp cooking or a back yard division cooker trying to step up to the Pro division. Right off I asked him if he would like to do the same on a show. It has now sparked an idea of doing this monthly and just trying to teach and inspire more cooks to go cook.

I have the opportunity to talk shop with a guy that truly gives back to our bbq community. Then the both of us make a pledge to donate to the a worthy cause in the name of Bill Arnold. Just listening is all you have to do for this to happen. Tim explains how he acquired Blues Hog after starting Gateway Drum Smokers and how he was playing catch up learning the retail game we play.

Have you ever wanted to know the reason or thinking behind all those little displays around the cashier at your favorite store. Or even the displays that you bump into on a store isle. There's a good chance that Bob helped with making them. We cover how important it is to have all your steps correct when you start with a project destine for consumer purchase.

This week we dive deep into learning about B&B Charcoal. We talk with Ed Reilly a representative and brand ambassador to the grilling community. You can tell he knows his stuff and his knowledge on charcoal is great to listen to. hearing his passion on wanting people to choose the right product for the cook comes across while we talk.

Anytime you get the chance to talk with a 6 time World BBQ Champion, you do. I ask Mark about how he got started cooking, the building of his business now called Sweet Swine of Mine Distributing. All his involvement with many organizations and you can hear the passion and ownership in his voice with each question I ask. And so much more.

This is a very short and brief podcast with me talking about what has happened to our podcast. I also ask for your opinion on a few subjects. It's short but it does explain the "Where's Waldo" of our show.
